Brian P
Lead Evangelist
5.0

Brian P.: Hi, my name is Brian. I am a lead evangelist and I give Aware 3 a rating of five out of five. For more reviews like this, click down below. Before using Aware 3, we were using a hodgepodge of different ways to communicate with our members. What we found was that we wanted to have everything contained into one software package, and so Aware 3 offered us the ability to not only connect with our members, but also to be able to collect finances or contributions from our members as well. When we researched different ops software packages, the thing that attracted us, the two big things that attracted us to Aware 3, number one was the financial piece. We saw that although it wasn't maybe the cheapest option, from a financial point of view, it gave us a lot of security and the point of revenue service was actually really, really good. We also liked the fact that with Aware 3, we were able to have a seamless app that we could distribute to our members. Those two pieces really helped win over the other options that were available to us. We found that getting Aware 3 to all of our members was not super difficult, but initially we had the challenge of getting everyone to using the app, to knowing how to download it and to operate it. But we got a chance to talk to all our members, teach them how to use it, and it was very simple afterwards. So what I would say was that it was a little bit upfront a little bit of a challenge, but afterwards it was very seamless for people to operate. My recommendation for anyone else who's in the market for Aware 3 is twofold. I think first, we had a dedicated IT person that was able to work with Aware 3 to be able to build out a software that was helpful for us. Then also, I think it's very important that you explain to people upfront all the great features so that you can maximize all that you get out of the software.

Daniel J
Associate Pastor
4.0

Daniel J.: Hi, my name's Daniel. I'm at South County Bible Church. I'm the Associate Pastor here. We've been using ProPresenter for about 10 years, and I'll give it four out of five stars. We use ProPresenter every week, although not on a day-to-day basis. We use it for projecting lyrics and video content in our sanctuary on Sunday mornings. We also use it for rehearsals, but that's just for preparing for that Sunday service. What we like most about ProPresenter is that it just works for the most part. You can import all kinds of different content. It connects to a lot of the different services like SongSelect and other places that you can subscribe to that'll help you create your slides easier. It seems like no matter what kind of file I throw at it, ProPresenter can read it. In the last couple of years as the new versions of ProPresenter have come out, they've switched to a subscription base. The good thing about that is that they do seem to have a lot of new content and a lot of new features as time has gone on, and it works for the most part. They do seem to release updates so quickly that sometimes I feel like they aren't completely bug tested because we've had to, probably three times in the last year, we've had to roll back to a previous version because the new stuff they've added doesn't work right away. We've had to implement a test and see rather than just update. To be honest, the cost every year to subscribe is pretty prohibitive. Thankfully, our church is financially able to do that, but it used to be you'd buy it and it would just work for three or four years and then you'd buy the new version, so paying every year is a little bit of a burden.
